Colloquium: Looking at a soliton through the prism of optical supercontinuum (2010, neutral): “A typical supercontinuum experiment with the femtosecond 800nm pump leads to spectra covering range from 400nm to 2000nm after propagation in a ∼ 1m long photonic crystal fiber (Gu et al., 2003; Ranka et al., 2000; Wadsworth et al., 2002).”
Optical gas sensing: a review (2012, background): “Supercontinua have been generated in standard telecoms fibre [238, 239] and optical fibre tapers [240], however the use of fs pulsed pumps with specially tailored PCF generally offers the highest conversion efficiency [240, 241].”
Supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber (2006, methodology): “Using nanojoule energy pulses at 770 nm of 100 fs duration from a self-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser, Ranka et al. 2000a were able to generate a 550 THz bandwidth SC spanning over an octave from 400 to 1500 nm using only 75 cm of PCF fabricated to have a ZDW in the region 765–775 nm. Shortly after, ”
Light propagation and localization in modulated photonic lattices and waveguides (2011, methodology): “[74] a new configuration of directional coupler was designed for switching of polychromatic light, such as light with supercontinuum frequency spectrum generated in photonic-crystal fibers and fiber tapers [263,326].”
